Beirut Cancels Fall 2019 Tour Dates Due To Zach Condon’s Acute Laryngitis

Indie rock band Beirut have been forced to cancel their fall 2019 tour this year, due to their vocalist Zach Condon’s laryngitis. The band were planned to tour in support of their latest album Gallipoli, which was released earlier this year.

“Due to Zach receiving a diagnosis of acute laryngitis earlier this Summer and it being a reoccurring issue going into the Fall, the rest of the performances for the band this year are cancelled,” the band wrote in a social media post. “Zach has been advised not to sing or tour. Band and crew are very sorry to share that news as we all looked very much forward to each of these shows and to seeing everyone.”

According top Condon, the band’s title spent from their time visiting the Turkish region. “We stumbled into a medieval-fortressed island town of Gallipoli one night and followed a brass band procession fronted by priests carrying a statue of the town’s saint,” Condon explained.
